First, it looks at the challenge of ensuring transparency while maintaining confidentiality. Second, it explores the role of trust in light of asymmetric information held by the surveyor and by the respondents as well as the latter's expectations as to what their participation will set in motion. The authors present case studies relevant to both of these issues. Finally, they discuss the role of ethical review from the perspective of research conducted through the World Bank. 2013-09-04T15:22:59Z 2013-09-04T15:22:59Z 2013-05 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2013/05/17716390/conducting-ethical-economic-research-complications-field http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15558 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 6446 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
